Top Ten Music Wrong Wrong Wrongs
The Right Music Wrongs website. The story continues.
It appears a lot of people have been hooked and the website appears to have taken on a life of it’s own as more bands/songs are nominated for a swift innocence or guilty verdict.
It has actually evolved into a rather fun website to be honest. And now features added dimensions including a top ten listing of ‘wrong’ which makes for curious reading.
Although the top ten is forever in a start of flux, I think most reasonable lovers of ‘pop’ music wouldn’t question the inclusion of people like Paris Hilton, David Hasselhoth, and leading the pack is the truly dreadful Fast Food Rocket who I think Australia may have been spared from as it was the first time I had seen or heard them… as horrible as it was.
Oh and the sickly sweet Jonas Brothers and all their songs make the list. Clearly with this last act, the tweens haven’t found this site yet.
Personally I thought the inclusion of Milli Vanilli was a bit rough and a bit of a ‘free kick’ as I rather like many of their songs. Sure – the two ‘faces’ of the band didn’t actually sing or contribute to them in a musical sense but set that aside for a moment… the songs themselves were good. I stand by this people.
The top ten also seems to have thrown up an awful lot of product… I mean songs from the ‘noughties’. Is this because Generation Y’s musical memory doesn’t extend back more than a decade or is it because this decade has really witnessed rampant out of control celebrity-mania. Maybe I’m getting old.
Having said that Milli Vanilli is a noughties exception as the boys from the one hit wonders ‘Right Said Fred’. I’d actually argue that although it was their only hit, it was a cracker in terms of being a bona fide dance floor filler. I cast my vote as being innocent. It appears that makes three of us now.
Seriously – this song appears to be a special event standard expected of all DJ’s toiling their skills at corporate gala dinners and it has certainly competed with “Eye of the Tiger” as a soundtrack of choice for all those sales incentive kickoff videos. Most are okay, some are very smart and funny, and those made in-house are most often simply appalling. People – I beg of you, get your event management company to handle this video along with everything else. It’s for the best.
And now ladies and gents, for those who like myself can’t help but stroll down memory lane in your baggy Turkish silk parachute pants, here is the track that kicked off this websites hunt for those guilty of music crimes – the original ‘Ice Ice Baby’ version courtesy of PPGTV.
no Mel and Kim? Dang! Gonna have to do the ’stasi’ on those gals.
MC Hammer just made the top 100 at 94 with 60% saying he is innnnnnn-o-cent! and Mr Kenny G nominated at 21 for only one song rather than his whole collection. What tha?
Leonard Nimoy with his ode to my fav’ hobbit and Don Johnson of Miami Vice fame just go to prove that actors should stick to acting and forget the singing…. and Paris Hilton for President? Well if Arnie as California Governor hadn’t happened (and Ronnie Reagan) I would have said your dreaming…. perhaps secretary of home affairs?
There’s a couple on the top 100 I was surprised to see. Madison Avenue and their hit “Don’t Call Me Baby” was and is a great song… but where is the original clip with Cheyenne? The Japanese clip is just plain odd.
I note that Pseudo Echo and their genuis cover of “Funky Town” features at 88 and that 57% of voters have declared their musical innocence! Yes! I also really like Savage Garden and their mega mega hit ‘Truly Madly Deeply’. Fab track and nice to see many agree.
when will we see Michael Jackson songs nominated? Too soon? How come Boy George’s pal Marilyn with his/her one and only hit “Calling You” hasn’t been nominated?
